Market conditions have never been better for buyers, but finding the right property, negotiating the best deal, and managing all the details are as complicated as ever.
Executives Versus Agents
The Marquart Group is comprised of Executives. An Executive is more than an agent. An Executive is a trusted source of local information, familiar with every block of every neighborhood, and able to help you understand how and where you’d fit best. An Executive understands local market conditions, so you can make a conservative but fair offer that will get you in the right home at the right price. Above all, an Executive is a professional, with years of experience negotiating deals and managing legal and regulatory red tape. When you’re dealing with an Executive, you can relax and focus on finding the perfect home, knowing you’re in good hands.
The Perfect Home
As we have pointed out above, a home is more than a number of bathrooms and bedrooms. While amenities set baselines and standards for your search, an ideal home is one that meets your needs for things that can’t be measured in bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage. Style, safety, history, neighborhood character, local schools, cultural resources, and how much you can reasonably afford are just a few of the factors your Executive will consider during your home search. A perfect home should stir your emotions, and an Executive will help you find the home that does just that–without letting emotions get in the way of your negotiations.
Negotiations and Financing
An Executive is an expert negotiator who knows where to start an offer, how far to push, and when to walk away. Executives can also help you understand the “hidden” costs and fees associated with the home buying process to ensure that you don’t get in over your head. Once your offer is accepted, an Executive will walk you through inspections and other contingencies, closing, underwriting, and escrow, so you can move into your new home without any worries.
